WILLIAM HENRY GOEHRING, a native of Alsace, Germany, born about 1750, was one of the early settlers of Butler county, Pennsylvania, where he located about 1801. He purchased 216 acres in Butler County for $325.45 on June 18, 1806. The land was known as "fruitful Manor." The deed says he already was "of the County of Butler." He purchased 200 acres of land, in what is now Cranberry township, which he cleared and improved, and resided thereon down to his death, in 1831. He married in his native land, Catherine BAER, by whom he had the following children: William, who died in Pittsburg, aged ninety-seven years; Adam, who died in Cranberry township; Charles; Christian, who died upon the homestead; Rebecca, who married John ROSEBORO; Fredericka, who married Christian BUHL; Barbara, who died unmarried; Catherine, who became the wife of John STAMM; Magdalena, who married Jacob WOSTER, and Charlotte, who married Francis BURKHART. Mr. GOEHRING was one of the original members of the Lutheran church of Zelienople. Before immigrating to this country, he was a teacher in the public schools of Germany, and was a man of very good education. The Goehrings were active in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Zelienople. Henry William is listed as a trustee when the church was formed in 1821. The first confirmation class, which graduated in 1821, was packed with his grandchildren. | |
